Hmm, I'm not sure what to make of that - I've never had it happen to me.

Could you copy the message here? And tell us what the card is configured
for and what's in the kernel config?

Sounds like an IRQ conflict or something. You're sure no other devices

of the hang, and have you tried using DDB?
